I've been trying to make that decision too. The staggered setup messes with the ABS, and unless you go with a lower spring in the front it just doesnt look right. 18/18 is probably the way to go. I'm curious to see some pics on lowered cars though.

18/18 all the way, the 17 zo6 wheels look smaller than most 17s to me. Just my 2 cents

If the overall height stays the same the ABS won't be messed up. I'm switching from 18/18 chrome to 17/18 black Z06 motorsports.

I agree, thats the size of tire i have on my car and it looks good, not to much sidewall, but just enough. Also with the 18x9.5/18x9.5 combo you can rotate your rims/tires rather than 18/17 you cannot

18/18 on an F-body. Only Vettes look good with staggered sizes. As for said relative, they'd be dead if they did that to my car
